A Song From a Knife Salesman To His Wife On Their Wedding Day

Oh, darling, this is it And I'm not a complicated person You're all I've got Well, I mean you're all I'll ever need Just like you are You look like you could use these open arms With these broken arms Well, I'll try and hold you all together You spun the wheels on this rusty heart And I'll never be the same, and we're no accident, you and I Sometimes we won't survive the crash I'll be your ambulance I'll let you sleep right here inside of me Let it leave a scar when it heals So we can remember what not to do It's those natural tattoos that I love drawn over every inch of you It's our only map It's all we'll ever have to offer All I am is for you Until I'm tied down to my coffin I'm not that good with words I'll try my hardest anyways and they get caught In my throat, no matter how loud I scream them out Grow old with me I can't seem to say it anymore convincingly And God, that scares me So take another step Take another step, take another step for me Take two more steps, and then you'll rest But just one more step for me Take another step, another step, take another step for me Take two more steps and I'll let you rest But just one more step towards me Well, I'm sure that this is it Our song's playing anyways So let's go dance, like ghosts just happy to be alive We're so much stronger Than anything they've ever taught us to fear And that's my plan, it's thin I know, but it'll stand up just the same So take my hand Hold it like your life depends and close your eyes and take a step I want to be the ground right there like it's always been You pulled the pin And asked me to hold your heart together, but not with words You crash landed right here inside my hands, my little bird Let's go and fly this globe all over and show 'em how Our love does fill up all the oceans I don't deserve you And I'll probably fail you in almost every single way And I'm so sorry Love your husband on your wedding day Take another step Another step, take another step for me Take two more steps, and then you'll rest But just one more step for me Take another step, another step, take another step for me Take two more steps and I'll let you rest But just one more step towards home
